Testimonials from our Members
"As a physician I am totally abhored by what my husband did. My goal now is to educate - physicians, counselors, attorneys and women. You are doing a great job. Please continue the forum."
"I am a professional custody monitor, but it's a vocation I didn't know existed until I had a child with a Narcissist. I came to this board (the old board on MSN) the first time 5 + years ago and the information I found here has been invaluable."
"This is a truly wonderful place for me. I was referred here by a counsellor who (unlike me) knew what was happening in my life."
"My therapist told me about this site. Your website is a lifesaver. Thank you, thank you, thank you. How did anyone ever recover from an N/P experience before this site?"
"When I came here there were hands to push from behind and help me every inch of the way, and when I stumbled and fell, there were arms to reach down and pull me back up again."
"This board is my lifeline to freedom and sanity."
"Today, BECAUSE I've been educated on HOW to protect myself, with many tools found RIGHT HERE at the forum, I don't have to play those sicko games with:
A) The psychopath.
B) Anyone else."
"I feel blessed for having access to such generous and loving people such as you. I truly do thank the universe for directing me to this board. It helped me tremendously in calming my concerns that I had done ANYTHING wrong to this N."
"Thank you for having this site! It has helped me more than hours of therapy I received before. It's the only thing in all these years that has helped me significantly. And I have been able to help others."
"May God bless the fantastic managers, the many and beautiful members of this incredible place of healing for all the love, unselfish
support, wisdom and words straight from the heart they so generously and willingly share. I don't know what I would have done without you."
"This forum was an integral part of giving me the strength to get the hell away from my XN, I am forever indebted to this community without a doubt."
"I have been in counseling off and on since my divorce ten years ago and I've learned more in three months on this board than I did in that entire time."
"What a treasure trove of information."
"The articles on this site are so insightful, inspirational and helpful, but it's also each of the personal stories that have brought home to me, more than anything, how many other people are out there going through the same sort of thing."
"I had to learn the hard way about personality disorders. Nothing compared to the Narc Borderliner I knew for 4 yrs that tried to destroy and almost did until I escaped almost 2 yrs ago. I thank the board, my Lord, meetings, and reading."
"I found your site profound in it's significance."
"I've found that my time spent here has been of greater value to me than anything I've participated in, in my life."
"This site has given me a stronger feeling of validation and sanity amidst the craziness, a place where I can support others going through the same thing, a place I can let down my hair and not be embarassed at what I've been through."
"I would like to say thank you for the existence of this forum and for what it has done to change the course of my life."
"This forum is a gift. The gift of knowledge, choice and freedom. Appreciate it...use it."
"This site has very warm, loving, supportive, caring people... I enjoy this board immensely... and I have learned so much, and continue to learn more from others and their experiences. I'm very thankful and grateful for finding you all here. It's nice to know my experiences are helping others too!!!"
"This board has healed my confusion, created loving and knowledgeable friends, allowed me to vent, and comforted my fears. You will love it here!"
"My therapist said I was the "quickest study she ever had. I told her not to give me the credit; it came from this site and all the valuable information I never would have known or how or where to find on my own."
"There are no words to describe how grateful I am and no value can be placed on what I've gained by coming here."
_____________________________
"This letter is a thank you for the healing that your website brought into my life. I came across it after reading Dr. Sam Vaknin's terrific encyclopedia/textbook on NPD. If not for the knowledge I gathered from you guys I would not be the confident, secure woman I am now. I would still continue to be a scared five-year-old, too voiceless and too scared to do or say anything for fear of being hurt, totally ignored or terribly punished.
The N’s in my life were my mom, dad, sis, step-son plus assorted collection of others. (It was a miracle –or perhaps my scrappiness - that despite my upbringing, I have married and been blessed with a wonderful normal husband). Of course, I didn’t know about N’s until a few years ago. I was raised/trained/brainwashed to be the peacemaker, healer, rescuer to the entire world and I was raised/trained/brainwashed to erase my words, feelings, opinions, needs or thoughts. And to forgive misdeeds because you are supposed to forgive your friends and family everything and I do mean everything, no matter how terrible. (One of the methods that helped me to let go of them was the EFT technique which I found on your website)
"I too want to express my gratitude for this site and all the wonderful people I interact with within it. At this point in my life, it is pretty much the high spot for me. There is a stability within it for me - something I can turn to whenever and feel at home. Right now, "it feels like my only home" the only place that understands and accepts me. So, it only seems appropriate to express my feelings of gratitude to all of you. Your presence and words I don't take for granted - just wanted you to know."
"I realize that every posting here is therapy for the person posting.....and for those reading them. Each similarity, each subtle nuance recognized in the stories of others.....helps us to realize that we are not alone. Quite the contrary. We have more company than we could have dreamed possible."
"Until I found this site, I thought I was going crazy. I was close to having a nervous breakdown. I felt soooo alone; I had many questions, but no answers and no one who truly understood what I was going through. This forum was and is my lifeline as I go through the healing process. I thank God every day for leading me here."
All I had to do to change was to learn to have compassion for myself. And realize it was OK to walk away from those who do not have my best interests at heart. Even if they are family. Even if they are pushing all the buttons. Even if they are pretending they are goldfish when they really are sharks under their goldfish disguise. And not feel guilty about it. Your website was instrumental in teaching me how to do that. And your website taught me how to detach from my N family.
Thank you for giving me the knowledge, means and techniques for winning myself back, for unfolding this terrific person who was always me. It was a long process. It took several years of learning from your website, several years of peeling away deeper and deeper layers until that which is the truth finally became revealed. And I really like what I see. I really, really like the person I am now, the person I was always meant to be. Thank you thank you very, very much for guiding me and so many other people toward the path that leads to a healing.

Children? They don't want presents, they just want to see your face light up when they come in the room.
